Donna,

The rules document contains diagrams showing each "area" of the mat 
that is involved in the missions--be sure to look at those diagrams, 
as there are some subtleties important for the scoring. The research 
area is defined as the ice barrier bounding the Southwest corner of 
the mat, plus the mat bounded by it.

One subtlety is that the "pink grid area" includes the wee bit of 
gray wall on which two white/red people are standing.

Cheers,
Mike Blanpied
